My only emotion is gratitude, literally, for my life.
Jack Nicholson
Image
The only way to break a bad habit was to replace it with a better habit.
Jack Nicholson
Image
I feel very lucky because I don't think there's any part I can't play. There are parts that scare me more than others.
Jack Nicholson
Image
We live, we die, and the wheels on the bus go round and round.
Jack Nicholson
Image
Everyone pretty much acknowledges that he's the man, and I still feel that underrates him.
Jack Nicholson
Image
There's a tacit agreement today that the white male is the only legitimate target for any and all satire, criticism, and so forth. And we pretty much just accept it.
Jack Nicholson
Image
I never had a policy about marriage. I got married very young in life and I always think in all relationships, I've always thought that it's counterproductive to have a theory on that.
Jack Nicholson
Image
When I am cast in a movie where I feel that the woman's part is more interesting, I usually start thinking about Spencer Tracy and Fred Astaire. They seem to be the most clear actors when working with women.

I don't even own a cell phone.

Image
When it's over for a woman, it's over. You're not getting an appeal.
Jack Nicholson
Image
There are major influences on us that people are not aware of. There are big lies that nobody's willing to discuss.
Jack Nicholson
Image
You can follow the action, which gets you good pictures. You can follow your instincts, which will probably get you in trouble. Or, you can follow the money, which nine times out of ten will get you closer to the truth.
Jack Nicholson
Image
Have you ever danced with the Devil in the pale moonlight?
Jack Nicholson
Image
I'm very fortunate in the sense that outside of cohabitating relationships and so forth, I've always got on just as well with women.
Jack Nicholson
Image
Many actors will try something different once, but if it isn't a box office success they'll never do it again. In my opinion, there's no point in going on with this job if you do the same thing over and over again.
Jack Nicholson
Image
A lot of people can't remember things because they weren't actually there to begin with - they don't take it all in.
Jack Nicholson
Image
It's a slight stretch of the imagination but most people are alike in most ways so I've never had any trouble identifying with the character that I'm playing.
Jack Nicholson
Image
Comedy is much harder, it's a lot more exacting. You can't just be real and you can't just use the same kind of techniques you use to fill up a regular scene.
Jack Nicholson
Image
The way I reacted to 9/11 was I decided I didn't want to do any movies that are sad or critical. I decided I didn't want to make my living depressing people or making them go home sick, so I just decided I wanted to do comedy for a while and study it for a while. It doesn't mean everybody should do that, but that was my reaction.

You are more thoughtful because you don't act as quickly anymore. When I turned 70 it was the first time I felt young for my age. Fifty dropped on me like a ton of bricks - there is something about that number - but when 70 came along I felt good about it.
